Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is the most common hormonal disorder among women. One in fifteen women between 20–40 years old is affected, and many more experience hallmark symptoms. PCOS is a spectrum of ovarian dysfunction and endocrine changes that vary in how they present — which is why careful diagnosis and an individualised plan are essential.
No second guessing. No compromise.
Between Mr. Alex Bader and Dr. Maria Papadopoulou, there is no procedure in this field they have not performed, refined and taught. This is what world-class looks like — and it is all under one roof.
What is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?
PCOS involves a combination of hormone imbalance and ovarian dysfunction. It’s associated with morphological and histological ovarian changes that can drive irregular cycles, androgen-related symptoms and metabolic issues. PCOS may run in families and can present differently across life stages.
Key Diagnostic Features
PCOS is typically considered when at least two of the following are present (other causes excluded):
- Ultrasound features consistent with polycystic ovarian morphology
- Menstrual disorders: irregular or absent periods
- Hyperandrogenism: acne, hirsutism (face, chest, abdomen, thighs) and/or biochemical evidence
- Obesity or weight-management difficulty (may be present)
Symptoms You May Notice
- Infrequent, irregular or absent periods
- Acne, oily skin, or increased hair growth
- Scalp hair thinning
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Ovulation-related subfertility
Treatment Options
Cycle control & endometrial protection. For women not seeking pregnancy, combined hormonal contraception can regulate bleeding and protect the uterine lining. Where hirsutism co-exists, anti-androgens may be added under supervision. See our page on birth control pills.
Fertility-focused therapy. If pregnancy is desired, ovulation induction and adjunct treatments are selected based on your profile, with careful monitoring.
Metabolic support. Lifestyle, weight management and targeted medications may improve insulin sensitivity and symptoms.
Surgical options. In selected cases, laparoscopic procedures may be considered as part of a comprehensive plan.
Natural & Complementary Measures
With your clinician’s guidance, some patients explore evidence-informed adjuncts. Benefits include a favourable safety profile, but they require consistency and time:
- Vitamin D — deficiency is common in PCOS
- D-chiro-inositol
- N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC)
- Herbal approaches — e.g. American ginseng, Ashwagandha, Eleuthera, Ginseng, Rhaponticum, Rhodiola, Schizandra
